CHURN-DASHER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 256,667, dated April 18, 1882. Application tiled January 5, 1882. (vModel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES FRIEDEBORN,

of Clare, in the county of Clare and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Chnrn-Dashers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention is an improvement on my improved churn-dasher for which Letters Patent No. 207,652 were granted to me September 3, 187 8; and the invention consists of concaved agitators or decctors arranged radially upon the upper conical surface of the plate or main part ot' the dasher immediately over and a short distance above series of radially-arranged holes made through the 'said plate, the

said plate having suitable holes or passages formed between the radial series of holes, the dasher being made by this construction more efficient, more durable, easier to clean, and cheaper of construction, all as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the gures.

Figure 1 i's'a perspective view of my improved dasher. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the dasher with parts broken away. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation taken on the line an x of Fig. 2,and Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation taken on the line y y of Fig.2. A

A represents the conical plate of sheet metal, which is provided at its apex with the sheetmetal tube orsocket B for holding the handle B. This socket is secured in the plate-by the inverted shect-1netal truncated cone-shaped plate b' in the same manner as shown and described in my original patent, and the conical plate A is formed with -the large holes a and the radial series of smaller holes bin thesame manner as in said patent. Radially arranged upon the upper' side of the conical plate A over the series of holes b are secured the coucaved spoon-shaped agitators or deilcctors D D. These deiiectors D D are made of sheet metal and areconcaved upon their upper side, and

the upturned flanges ff thereof are curved or Y shown at t' t' in the drawings, and are formed with the downwardly-bent end pieces or supports, g g, by which the deflectors are soldered upon the upper surface of the mainsconical plate over the series of holes b, as clearly shown in the drawings, and the supports g g are of suitable length to support the deflect 'ors a suitable distance above the conical plate 'A.

These deiiectors D D, besides their effect to deflect the cream, as hereinafter described, serve also as agitators, circulators, and buttergatherers. When the dasher is forced down through the body of cream in the churn the deflectors serve to divide and deect the streams of cream which are forced up through ,the holes b and cause such streams of cream to come against and mingle with the streams of cream which at the same time issuethrough the holes a upon both sides of the deflectors, thus causing thorough and violent agitation of the whole mass of cream. Upon the upward movement of the dasher the detlectors D D, vowing to their concave or spoon-like shape, and being inclined downwardly and outwardly, lift the cream and cause circulation ofthe whole mass of cream from the center of the churn outwardly toward the sides or walls of the churn, which circulation brings the whole quantity of cream in rapid succession under the action of the downward movement of the dasher, which causes rapid formation of the butter. The end pieces, g g, also form walls or abutments for the deflected upward streams of cream forced through the holes b to strike and break against, thus augmenting the general circulation and agitation of the mass of cream, and consequently the rapid formation of butter.` When the butter has come and the i dasher is used to gatherthe butter the deiectors have a spoonlike action upon the underside of the globules of butter which rise to the top roo4 over and upon it. This easy cleaning and easy freeing of the dasher of particles and small lumps of butter is due to the fact that there are no covered ledges or recesses or holes of any material depth upon the surface of the dasher, and to the fact that the contiguous surfaces of the deieetors and thc main plate are both convex, thus making it impossible for any butter to lodge and bc retained between them against any jar, however slight.

The deectors will ordinarily be stamped up in suitable dies and soldered upon the conical main plate, which can be done rapidly at small expense, thus reducing the cost of the dasher.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The dasher made substantially as herein shown and described, consisting of the apertured conical plate A, having the concaved deectors D, provided with end supports secured upon its upper surface, substantially as set forth.

2. In combination with the conical plate A, the concaved detlectors D, made as described, z 5 and set upon the plate A with their convex faces directly over the openings b, as herein shown and described, whereby the jets of cream that rise through the apertures b will be laterally detiected by contact with the con- 3o veX surfaces of the deiiectors and driven into contact with thejets that rise through the adjoining apertures a, as set forth.

3. The concaved deflectors D, formed with the supports g g, and having the npturned 35 tlangesff, which are curved oit', as shown at fi t', the deflectors being secured upon the conical plate A, substantially as and for the purposes described.

CHARLES FRIEDEBORN.
